Have had great fun this week making a little travel sewing kit (or three) for myself and as gifts. I followed a super simple tutorial by Lella Boutiquie and was very pleased with the results. I am not a quilter – so this was an easy introduction to the process.
Inside, the kit is separated into three areas. In the centre is a scissor keep, needle keep and a thread holder. Although you have to work very hard to get a reel on the thread holder – I think I might add a small sliding pincushion to this area instead. There is then an open pocket (or two) to the right of the centre panel and a zipped pocket to the left.
And this is what the finished kit looks like…
If I have learnt anything – it is that I need to follow measurements accurately. I tend to go at things like a bull in a china shop and wing it a bit! I think I have gotten away with it this time – although the binding around the edge of the kits could have been a little more even.
Have a go – they are fun to make. Happy stitching.

Absolutely beautiful. So handy and cute. I love the fabric, it is so very cheerful. 🙂
Thank you.
looks like you had lot of fun ^^
And they were so easy!
Cute, and very useful!
And quick and easy to make!
they look great! Accuracy? Pfff, don’t worry about that! Binding is so hard to get right, even after all these years I struggle with it.
Thanks – nice to know that I am not the only one!
